Weirdest supermarket substitutions

[Bloom15]

I am getting an Asda order delivered later today and they advised me of the subs. All fine apart from they have subbed my mulled wine for 24 reduced salt OXO stock cubes. I don't think it will taste quite as nice!

Anyone else has weird subs?!

Not so weird, but equally mind boggling. I once ordered 6 individual onions. They sent 6 1kg bags of onions instead! One bag would have sufficed!

@Bloom15
Errrr... not even close!

@RightHereRightNowish I can only imagine when you saw all those onions😂

I once had a mascara substituted with a Halloween garden skull stake. 😂 It was delivered on Halloween so maybe they were trying to get rid of stock. I still proudly display my stake in the front garden every Halloween.

I thought I'd placed an order for a packet/tub/whatever it's called of mushrooms.

I received one solitary button mushroom.

I once had semi skimmed milk replaced with cream cakes! 😅

In the very early days of online shopping, I ordered lemon washing up liquid and got a lemon instead.

Not me, a friend. Ordered a pack of McCoys ridged crisps, but received a pack of thick sanitary towels instead.

My favourite was when I had ordered a particular pudding-pot in Chocolate flavour and Caramel flavour.

They were out of stock of the Chocolate flavour and substituted the Caramel flavour.

They were also out of stock of the Caramel flavour and substituted the Chocolate flavour.

I also once ordered a roll of icecube-making bags and they substituted a roll of tin foil.

Last christmas we ordered pigs in blankets and they subbed it with a cat blanket that had pigs faces on it.

I'd be happy with that one! X

Oh wow!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂

These are my favourite threads

Ham and Pineapple Pizza ordered; we got coconut yoghurt!

I am crying with laughter at the cat blanket. Do you even have a cat?

Not a sub but once received the world's smallest pinapple. Very disappointed.

Once ordered a cucumber but got a courgette.

The absolute best was I ordered 1 packet of 4 batteries, got 4 boxes of batteries with about 8 packs in each, so a few hundred batteries in total. They lasted years.

love that 😆🤦🏼‍♀️

Some years ago, but Asda decided that an appropriate substitution for a tub of olive oil based margarine was a copy of the Daily Mail. Clearly I didn't accept it.

Ha maybe we had each others orders. I ordered lemon juice for pancakes and got lemon scented antibac wipes!

That reminds me, we once got lemon juice in a lemon shaped plastic thing instead of a lemon.
Lemons seem to be problematic

My husband works as a supermarket delivery driver and was working Christmas Eve. I also popped into the supermarket on Christmas Eve to see piles and piles of bags of carrots. Taller than me.

his deliveries that day all had carrots as ‘unavailable’ and subbed with swede. I was tempted to go deliver all the carrots myself, and I will never trust a supermarket delivery for Christmas.

I received 4 tubs of Mackies honeycomb icecream instead of honey once.

I ordered a happy anniversary card from ASDA for my friends wedding anniversary. They substituted it with a happy birthday card.
